Duke's Amile Jefferson out vs. FSU with bone bruise in foot

DURHAM, N.C. -- Duke says forward Amile Jefferson will not play Tuesday night at No. 9 Florida State because he bruised a bone in his right foot.

Acting head coach Jeff Capel said Monday that Jefferson's foot will be re-evaluated after that game.

Jefferson averages 13.6 points and a team-best 10.1 rebounds for No. 7 Duke.

He was hurt in the first half of a victory over Boston College on Saturday when he landed awkwardly after a shot in the paint. He went to the locker room and returned to the bench midway through the second half but did not play again.
